Eskimos use refrigerators to keep food from freezing.
* Talk about the downright bizarre. Enough said...
Did you know that a tiny gnat flaps its wings 1,000 times a second?
* This is revealed strictly on a "need to know" basis. File this into your short-term memory banks as there might be a flash test at the end of this post and you sure don't want to look stupid!
Did you know that beetles taste like apples, wasps like pine nuts and white worms like fried pork rinds?
* Don't look at me! I don't dine in the same circles as these folks, so we will just have to take their word for it. Can you imagine walking down the grocery store aisle to see fried white worms in the same area as potato chips?
